The company produces original curriculum-based musical plays that are designed to inspire, educate, and entertain young audiences, families, and communities.

Tickets are $4 for general admission, $3 for Oakton students and children ages 3 - 12, and may be purchased at the door or by calling the Oakton Box Office at 847-635-1900. There is no charge for children age 2 and under.

The 2002 - 2003 Kids' Club family program series continues with "Christmas and Hanukkah Joy," a fun-filled performance by storyteller and actor Chris Fascione on Dec. 8 and "Kucha, Your Favorite Storyteller," a rhythmic presentation of folktales, fables, and proverbs on Feb. 9.
